One day after birth, conjoined twins die

They survived a risky birth, but the conjoined Hamby twins’ heart was simply not strong enough. Asa and Eli died Friday afternoon, one day after their birth, according to their parents.

In a video posted late Friday on Facebook, Michael and Robin Hamby said their sons fought hard before they were taken off ventilators at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. The twins died around 5 p.m., Michael Hamby said.
